While some chose violence at this year’s Academy Awards, Lady Gaga chose kindness and grace, ending the night on a hopeful note in which she took careful care of a wheelchair-bound Liza Minelli, gently keeping her on track when she seemed slightly lost. It was a heartwarming moment of delicate humanity on a night otherwise bereft of it, and it earns Gaga her first Dazzler of the Day. Like Madonna before her, crowning Lady Gaga as a Dazzler feels like a bit of a redundant let-down when you think of all her other accomplishments, but it’s all I have to give.
